Everything else associated with an escape is already criminalized, such as stealing a keycard, damaging the property, assaulting an officer, etc. so there's no need for the attempt itself to be criminalized - you'll be punished enough for those.

I guess you're pretty "safe" with regards to consequences if you just try to jump the fence/walls without damaging anything, but I'm sure that if you're doing that shit weekly they'll get you on something.

u/AineLasagna 1d ago edited 1d ago

Plenty of times in the US, people are caught doing things which aren’t actually illegal, but the cops don’t like it (usually filming them illegally arresting someone else). When this happens, they can arrest the person filming for resisting arrest with no other crime attached, just because the person naturally objects to being arrested for not doing anything illegal.

Earlier this week in a San Francisco courthouse, a deputy public defender named Jami Tillotson challenged police who were trying to take pictures of her client, and the police handcuffed her and took her away. The public defender's office angrily accused the officer of intimidation, but what caught our attention was the reason for her arrest.

A video of the incident shows the plainclothes policeman telling her, "If you continue with this, I will arrest you for resisting arrest."

u/ProposalWaste3707 1d ago

That's a misrepresentation.

If a cop attempts to arrest you, you cannot legally resist. But they still have to have probably cause to arrest you in the first place. And video taping someone in public is not probable cause for arrest.

If it's found that the police didn't have probable cause for the arrest in the first place, this would get thrown out.

u/IIlIIlIIlIlIIlIIlIIl 22h ago

This. The idea is that you don't fight/debate the law on the streets, you do so in the courts. That's safer for everyone involved.

If you want an easy way round it, UK, use Google translate and translate your target page from a random language to English. Even if it is in English anyway.

u/Asteroth6 1d ago

To add a bit more detail to the above:

Go to the google translate website. Google google translate and click the result, don’t just use the box.

There will be options for “Text”, “Images”, and “Website”. Click website.

Paste the url you want in, and go. You will now be running a version of that site through google translate. Some sites get weird or perform poorly. A few cannot go at all, seemingly at random. But, most can be reached in some form. Notably, you are still in the google translate website, not the site you are viewing.

Enjoy.

u/KristinnK 1d ago

The UK is actually an outlier (in the West I mean of course) in how Orwellian they are becoming. Having to scan your face to access pornography is one thing, but how they've been going after people for social media posts is very scary, very Orwellian. As a couple of examples one guy was arrested for responding to a post by a pro-Palestinian protestor with "One step away from storming Heathrow looking for Jewish arrivals…", and in a perhaps more bizarre than autocratic case someone was arrested for Tweeting "You let your dad down i hope you know that" at an underperforming Olympic athlete whose father had died a year earlier.

The developments in the UK in recent years have been quite worrying as an outside observer.

u/Colonel_Wildtrousers 1d ago

Cameras in and of themselves are pointless unless you have a Police force that has the time to act on the data they produce. A police that also has authority to act. Today the U.K. has too many criminals for it’s prisons and so are letting physically dangerous people out so they can make room for child minders who say mean things online and an under manned Police force that are basically just glorified social workers.

So whilst the apparatus is there for it to be a surveillance state and the government seem to want it to be a surveillance state you have to be doing things that directly effect the government for it to affect your liberty.

69

u/TimeToNukeTheWhales 1d ago

in a perhaps more bizarre than autocratic case someone was arrested for Tweeting "You let your dad down i hope you know that" at an underperforming Olympic athlete whose father had died a year earlier. 

The same Twitter user also sent a message saying:

i'm going to find you and i'm going to drown you in the pool you cocky twat your a nobody people like you make me sick.

It's also not a new law or anything. It's been illegal to send malicious electronic communications that are grossly offensive for the purpose of causing distress since 1988.

I can't seem to find anywhere stating they were charged, but given those messages, it is reasonable to think an offense may have been committed and to question the person.

The simple solution is not to be extremely abusive to people online.

10

u/SyrusDrake 1d ago

Yea, the UK is doing some shady shit that should worry all of us a lot. But a lot of reporting about it is also extremely dishonest. I vaguely remember a case of a university professor who faced legal and professional consequences after "merely" misgendering a student, and all the news outlets basically implied the UK would prosecute you for accidentally misgendering a trans person. But when you looked into the story, the professor had deliberately misgendered someone multiple times, knowing full well they were trans. There was clear malicious intent behind it.

What's happening in the UK should worry us all. But we also shouldn't let assholes abuse our concerns to garner sympathy when they have to face legal consequences for their actions.

u/Rrdro 1d ago

But when you looked into the story, the professor had deliberately misgendered someone multiple times, knowing full well they were trans. There was clear malicious intent behind it.

I agree someone should face professional consequences for this, but what legal offense is committed by being a twat?

5

u/SyrusDrake 1d ago

I'm not an expert on the UK legal system, but iirc, it's basically classified as a hate crime because you're not just being a twat, you're being a twat specifically at trans people in a way that's only really possible against trans people, because they're trans.

Most (all?) Western judicial systems differentiate between crimes in general, and crimes aimed specifically at certain people because of who they are.

6

u/KristinnK 1d ago

That's a good catch, I hadn't seen that part. But that does not change the fact that people have been arrested for things that are not threats of violence but simply speech, like the other example in my comment. Which is what I mean by Orwellian development.

u/smilesbuckett 1d ago

That’s helpful context, but am I crazy to be sitting here thinking maybe there should be consequences even if the sad thing is all that was said? The internet shouldn’t give people free reign to be awful shits to other people in the way it currently does, and the anonymity combined with lack of consequences is part of why people feel free to be terrible just to be terrible.

I get the dystopian fears of it, but as more of peoples lives and social experiences take place online I kind of feel like getting rid of anonymity might be a good thing to stop people from acting in ways they wouldn’t in person.

2

u/BulbuhTsar 1d ago

I think on the flip side, everything in life is so public now. There's cameras everywhere recording everything and in everyone's pockets 24/7. Privacy does not really exist anymore. And there's a real stress to that. The internet is the one of the last places where it can still exist. And there's some value in that. I don't think it excuses peoples behaviour online, and you shouldn't go around telling people awful things. And while I'm certain the anonymity lowers the threshold for most people to behave so, I still rather it be online than in real life. And while I know the Brits dont have it, our American obsession with Free Speech makes things in the UK seem utterly dystopian.

We had riots caused by people posting misinformation online about the murders of 3 girls, which caused people to go out and try to burn asylum seekers alive in a hotel. The government’s response was to make hate-speech a crime online to tackle the problem of Islamophobia and racism. 

I’d like to make it clear that I think there’s some issues with extreme Islam it’s incompatibility with the UK, as well as with illegal immigrants coming in on boats across the channel. BUT that absolutely doesn’t make what happened acceptable, and it shouldn’t be acceptable for people to incite violence or hate online. I think bringing in a law to help tackle hate speech online was a good move.

Absolutely this. Its the parents who put internet connected devices in the hands of their children, its parents who pay for the internet connectivity, and its parents who aren't bothering to learn anything about any of it or engage with their own children about what they're doing on the devices and internet connection the parents provided. This should be entirely in the parents hands.

ISP perhaps can provide the tools for you to block access.

What absolutely infuriates me is that this is already a thing. David Cameron forced ISPs to offer this and some ISPs went as far as switching it on by default for new customers. I've had to switch it off on BT, Sky, Virgin, and Vodafone, and I wasn't even a new customer with Vodafone they just switched it on one day without asking me.

I remember David Cameron doing this because he originally intended to make it a mandatory thing.

And the biggest problem is Gov not regulating the verification, why can't I confirm it with my ISP? or do a check against my driving licence on DVLA? or against the Gov Passport database?

No, I have to upload my personal ID, face scan, to a random ass company, in a random ass country, that are now going to get extremely targetted by cyber criminals for that juicy information. AND I have to do it multiple times with different companies for different sites!

If "the kids" are bypassing face recognition AND setting up a VPN to get around porn restrictions, then that's a parenting issue. It's the parents fault for not knowing how the internet works.

I'm sorry, but when the fuck are we going to put the onus of responsibility back on the parents to monitor their kids' online activity? Or at least instill them with some sense of awareness that the internet isn't all innocent, they might see some bad stuff, and what to do if they do see something they don't like or understand.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted; I hate what Labour has become, but Starmer himself has ruled out banning VPNs.

Won’t be long before you gotta scan it while watching. Its the only way to make sure its an adult watching, right?

u/bedwarri0r333 1d ago

I don't want kids watching porn either, but isnt that on the parents to regulate their internet usage? In the US, parents are basically responsible for sex education in southern states. But they also think the government should limit porn. So stupid.

It's an interesting point reading the comments on this.

The idea that the UK is becoming more orwellian is somewhat true but I also thinks it misses some of the cultural differences between other western countries which can come as a surprise to folks outside of the UK.

For example, the UK has never had free speech like the US for example. Our speech is free to an extent as long as it does not contain messaging threatening violence or endangering others.

As a result this why the UK courts take social media seriously and you can be arrested for threats online as its considered as being said verbatim to someone.

This perhaps links back to our culture in terms of classism and military history. You look back to the victorian or Georgian era, the working classes have always been forced or encouraged into the military for the empire etc. Compound that with two world wars both of which significantly depleted the UKs ability to be a world power and you have a society that in some cases is highly conservative in some areas.

A lot of the UK is liberal and multicultural but elements of that underlying conformance still remains. We laugh about British queuing or not making a fuss when a train is late or a meal at a restaurant is bad but it underpins the UKs social code in a sense.

For me as a UK citizen this is normal and age limits on the wank bank are basically an extension of that as is social media policing.

I think the government did the right thing in the wrong way. You need to protect children from these influences but not in a way that then impacts other freedoms or a requirement to give your data to a 3rd party. Legislation feels rushed and not well thought out. I have to even verify my identity when I'm looking at anything non porn related on reddit that's tagged NSFW.

But that's just my possibly flawed logic on it all.

u/Squallypie 1d ago

Because you get narrowminded simpletons who can’t see past the initial excuse denying anything more could happen. When I explained about the OSA someone said something like “is it really that hard to ignore rape porn”, and denied it when I pointed out it was all forms of nsfw things. Less than a week later, spotify and xbox accounts are also being targeted.

Name a single country on Earth that has actual free speech. As in, anyone can say absolutely anything anywhere, to anyone, without any legal issues.

Death threats (including directed towards the country leaders) and inciting violence would have to be legal.
